Well, it's mid afternoon and I'm shattered, but in a good way!
Yesterday after I posted I put 5 buckets of chippings/ shreddings around the beans (to both act as a weed suppressant & to help keep moisture in). The shreddings were from some woody bushes we took down a couple of months ago and have been living in a heap behind the garage waiting to be used/ diposed of. They will eventually rot down in to the ground, too, so I'm pleased with that.
I also potted on 15 tomato plants and 9 peppers. I found 3 kilos of unplanted seed potatoes (eek - shall be overrun with potatoes at this rate!) so planted some of those and started to empty the compost bins to earth up the other potatoes.
Two loads of washing were line dried and the majority of it ironed whilst watching CSi last night :)
In the flylady spirit I did some swish and swiping and some tidying in the lounge.
Today I have fully emptied both compost bins and refilled the smaller one with half-composted 'stuff'. The rest of the compost has been wheel-barrowed to the back of the house and used on potatoes. I have tidied and swept down one side entrance (the unused one) - clearing all the winter leaves, weeds, rubbish, mud, empty snail shells and empty plastic pots from down there. It now has neat rows of potatoes in bags/ pots.
I also have a Little Tikes slide to clean and dispose of. I would like to get that cleaned this week and advertised in the local paper and netmums asap. The eldest 2 will get the money split between them as they bought it. Still masses of tidying and potting on/ earting up to do (and about a kilo and half left of seed potatoes to plant!) - I will aim to finish it all by Friday. I need to buy some compost now (I'll go to Aldi tomorrow) - I've totally ran out of homemade - what's still left to compost may be ready in the summer holidays if I'm lucky. I am pleased with what I've achieved, but it is at the expense of doing anything in the house. I'm just off to tidy the kitchen and then vacuum downstairs, before heading upstairs to do more tidying... argh!! :) I then really need a shower!!
Tonight I have a WI committee meeting - after which I may join some friends for a social drink & BBQ if I'm not too tired!!
